If a culture treats a particular illness with compassion and enlightened understanding, then sickness can be seen as a challenge, as a healing crisis and opportunity. Being sick is then not a condemnation or a moral judgement, but a movement in a larger process of healing and restoration.

But our age pretends to make a sterile tree bear fruit by tying fruits of truth onto its branches.
